The first chapter is very dense but stick with it!

I found the entire book to be highly interesting and informative. I feel like I understand the Beatles on a far deeper level now.

My favourite book about music

A tour de force of musical history, theory and impact. The main thing I would change in the audio book version is to organise the chapters with one per track, do you can scroll through the catalog with ease. I also thought the delivery quality between the narrators varied wildly, the Irish guy being by far the most captivating.
